American Idol Top 4 Idol Chatter and Idle Chatter

[D&DDisney]

Is Adam Lambert too gay to win Idol, or is he too good?
by LYNN CROSBIE
From Tuesday's Globe and Mail

Gokey never looks sad, or even a bit blue. I have grieved goldfish longer than him. No one grieves by auditioning for American Idol. At any rate, Gokey, as a singer, pales next to Lambert.

If all you have lost is goldfish, then you don't know what real grieving is.

Every week, Lambert comes out and sings so well, one feels like the professor in the Marlene Dietrich film The Blue Angel, watching, “what God made beautiful.” Or, like the professor in Francine Prose's novel of the same name, whose brilliant creative-writing student only accentuates how horrible the others are.
What are you smoking?

Is it possible that Idol rigged the numbers last week because Lambert so clearly deserves to and should win.

It is also possible that the over-40s, and others, wanton homophobes (evident everywhere online) do not want a gay/bisexual Idol, but I don't think that is what is happening.

Is it possible that some people just might not LIKE HIM??? Hence the reason he was dropped from a record label in the past! Or could it be that people over 40 actually have taste?
Lambert is so gifted, he destroys the show's entire premise, which is the possibility that anyone can be an American Idol. Each year, aspiring artists have looked to this show and have been able to see themselves in the form of the contestants, the winners. But never in this strange angel; in all his radiance.

Again I say...What are you smoking??

Or could it be that people over 40 actually have taste?

Well, I'm well past 40 and I think that Adam is the best singer ever on Idol. Usually I am a very casual watcher of the show, but he caught my attention early on and for several weeks now, he is the only reason I'm still watching AI. If he is voted off, I won't be watching any more.

He is the only singer for whom I've ever searched on YouTube for any reason and he is the only AI contestant to whose songs I listen after the show. I've never had any interest in seeing AI on Tour, but because of him I'll be buying tickets this year.

So I guess you might say that in your opinion I'm over 40 and have no taste. Pixie dust to you.

i am right there with u...I have always watched idol...but Adam truely is the best ever on the show, in my opinion. I am 50...At first my teen agers are like he is so hot...and i did n't pay much attention to him...but then i really watched and listened to him...and he is the best singer , entertainer ever on idol...I also loved Archie, Constatine, Ace..and Taylor hicks...so I liked a variety of idols.

I have never wanted to go to see the tour...but this year I definiatly would, and only because of Adam..my 50 year old husband, who is narrow minded sometimes, also says he really is amazing..

anyway...can't wait until tonight...rock on Adam

My parents are in their 60's and both LOVE Adam. Dad plays bass in a blues band and mom has an eclectic array of musical likes.

This is the first I've heard of Adam having a past record deal. What label? Did they ever release a single for him? Is it available somewhere?

Danny Gokey & Adam Lambert

Hoping Kris Allen goes home, we find him to be very boring.

I don't know if it's just me, but I feel really let down by this season. Without Adam I don't even think I would watch. I was just listening to my iPod. I have a folder with all the AI songs I purchased last season, and it made me realize just how blah this season has been for me. I miss having more than one contestant I enjoy listening to. (Jason, MJ, Carly, even Archie... but most of all DC!) I'm ready for this one to be over. Well... except for Adam.

I agree. I'm not super excited for anyone the way I was last year. I haven't bought anyone's itunes song either.

What "he" are you guys talking about? If it is the author of the article "he" is a 45 year old female.

Wow, I'm shocked! What 45yo female is that limited to discriminate against her own age group????

She sounded like a young stupid guy in that article, sorry.

 

[Robinrs]

Make that 4!! I LOVED Tracks of My Tears, but I can't handle the shrieking. When he slows it down you can really see he has talent.

BTW, hi everyone! I'm still around, I just don't post much because it's hard with a baby in my arms (like right now- totally one handed typing!)

I'm rooting for Kris. He made it pretty darn far for not having a back story and early airtime (did we even see his audition? I don't remember)

I don't even consider back stories because I don't watch until they finally decide on the top 36. Kris has a following because he always steps up the the plate and he's "cute". He's talented as heck, even if I don't care for his mouth calistenics.

I'm behind...what's tonight's theme?

Daughtry and No Doubt will be the guest performers this week.

WOOO!!!! I am so looking forward to seeing Daughtry perform tomorrow.

Tonight's theme is classic rock 'n roll with Slash Hudson as a mentor.

I vote for Adam to win. He really has talent. I don't know how he ended up in bottom 3 last week.

Don't feel obligated Mandy! Last time I really read the spoiler songs and CARED was when I saw David Cook was singing "Billie Jean" and I almost died!! And boy, did he prove me wrong!

 

[DarthKTrava]

Let's keep David Cook's family in our thoughts. His brother passed away this weekend.
